Is It Really Common to Have Sex on the First Date? Survey Says: No

Have you ever felt like almost everyone is ditching inhibitions and diving into bed on the first date? According to a new survey by Dating Advice, the opposite is actually true: Just one in three American adults admit to having hit the sack on a first date, which means two thirds of us are waiting at least for Date No. 2 before we get naked and get down.

You probably won't be surprised to find out that men are more likely to have sex on a first date than women. Nearly half of men (46 percent) have taken their first dates to bed, while just 33 percent of women admitted to the same. But surprisingly, age doesn't seem to be much of a factor when it comes to first-date sex—22 percent of adults ages 18 to 24 have had it, while 39 percent of adults 25 to 54 have hopped in the sack during Date No. 1.

Also interesting is that there seems to be a certain salary range that is more sexually adventurous than all others. The lucky number? Adults who made $75,000 to $99,999 were the most likely to engage in first-date sex. Those who made less than $25,000 were the least likely, at just 25 percent.

Finally, 45 percent of adults who copped to getting it on during a first date are divorced, while 31 percent are married and 36 percent are single. (The study did not make a correlation between whether first-date sex could lead to a happier or less successful relationship.)

Have you ever had sex on a first date? Would you be turned off or on if a man asked you to have sex with him during your first night with him?
